Inspired directly from the brand's unique dive watch of the 60s, the Legend Diver retains the legendary dual-crown 'Super-Compressor' silhouette. This modern execution, reference L3.374.4.40.2, reinterprets that history in a versatile 36mm case, but its most striking feature is the rich, lacquered burgundy dial with a deep gradient effect.
Founded in Saint-Imier in 1832, Longines is one of the most enduring watchmaker, identified by its winged hourglass logo—the oldest registered trademark for a watchmaker in continuous use. The brand was an early pioneer of industrialized watch production, establishing a formidable reputation as a true manufacture capable of producing exceptionally engineered movements.
Longines then took various role as the official timekeeper for championship sports and as an indispensable instrument for the pioneers of aviation, including Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart. Today, as a cornerstone of the Swatch Group, Longines expertly leverages its vast archives, particularly through its celebrated Heritage collection, which offers faithful recreations of its most significant historical references.
